Super Bowl Picks of the Week



It is Super Bowl Sunday, and what does that mean - well, we haven't heard about any players being arrested in South Beach this week, and, both teams have nobody listed on the injury report.  So, everyone is healthy for the biggest game of the year.

Since it is the Super Bowl, both bets (not including the money line) will be big bets.  Then we have the money line, and I will do at least 3 prop bets.  Let's see how that works out.

For those that are new to this site - this is ordinarily how I make my bets.  I will select every game against the spread.  I will be selecting one big bet at $250 per, whereas everything else will be $100.  Winners count as winners, whereas losses will be calculated including a 10% vig to make the math that much simpler.  On to the picks.  Since it is the playoffs, I might make more big bets, and I will also be betting the money lines in the games.


Prop Bets

Demi Lovato National Anthem UNDER 1:59 +170 (Bet $100 to Win $170)

San Francisco 49ers Sacks OVER 2 1/2 +130 (Bet $100 to Win $130)

Tyreek Hill Rushing Attempts OVER 1/2 +175 (Bet $100 to Win $175)

Joe Buck or Troy Aikman say "Patriots" +200 (Bet $100 to Win $200)

Robbie Gould Points OVER 7 1/2 +100 (Bet $100 to Win $100)

Game Bets

San Francisco 49ers + 1 1/2 v. Kansas City Chiefs
San Francisco has been the best, most complete team all season.  Their defensive line should give Patrick Mahomes fits all game, and even though Kansas City will likely score their share of points, San Francisco does not shy away from shootouts - see Saints, New Orleans.

San Francisco 49ers +110 v. Kansas City Chiefs (Bet $100 to win $110)
This bet is all over the board in Vegas, from -115 to +110.  Of course, the spread is all over the place from San Francisco -1 to Kansas City -1 1/2.

San Francisco 49ers v. Kansas City Chiefs OVER 53 1/2
Both teams can score!

Big Bet I

Demi Lovato National Anthem UNDER 1:59 +170 (Bet $100 to Win $170)
Lovato went way over 2:00 in 2017 while singing the national anthem for a boxing match, but she has sung the anthem at 3 World Series games since then, and all have been under 2:00.

Big Bet II

Joe Buck or Troy Aikman say "Patriots" +200 (Bet $100 to Win $200)
Of course they will mention the Patriots, right?  Maybe in tha this is the first Super Bowl in 4 years without them, or perhaps when speaking about Kyle Shanahan blowing a 28-3 lead to the Patriots.  This IS going to happen, right?
